Obama's EPA Decree Shrinks Size of Wyoming by 1 Million Acres, Giving it Illegally to American Indians

Are you kidding me? No Congress, no courts, just his tyrannical EPA. One million acres is about the size of the State of Rhode Island. That is a considerable amount of land.

I am not saying that giving the American Indians more land is a bad thing, maybe it is a great thing...but what I am saying is that it is not Obama's to give away. A dictator who hates America would do it, yes, but a REAL American President, no.

Reacting to the decision to reduce the size of Wyoming by about a million acres, Wyoming Governor Matt Mead warned of the dangers to all Americans of this type of unilateral land redistribution by the EPA:"I
understand that the Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone Tribes have a
different opinion about the Wind River Reservation Boundary. My deep
concern is about an administrative agency of the federal government
altering a state's boundary and going against over 100 years of history
and law.

"This should be a concern to all citizens because, if the
EPA can unilaterally take land away from a state, where will it
stop?" Governor Matt Mead said in a press release on January 6.

Gov. Mead added, "The Attorney General's petition
shows that, in conjunction with the Tribes, Congress diminished the Wind River
Reservation in 1905. Given the fundamentally flawed process and decision and
the likelihood of irreparable harm, the EPA should put a hold on its decision
and reopen its process to incorporate all of the available evidence, give
interested parties an opportunity to respond to the facts and arguments and
complete its review in a transparent manner. The State has also asked the
EPA to stay its decision until a final judicial decision has been issued."

When Wyoming received the EPA's unpublished decision
granting the Tribes "Treatment As State" status on December 9, 2013,
Gov. Mead called on the state's attorney general to challenge the decision:

"It is outrageous to me that a regulatory agency has
proposed changing jurisdictional boundaries established by history and the
Courts. I have asked the Attorney General to challenge this decision and defend
the existing boundaries of the reservation.
